Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 28, 1908.

Application filed Nbvember 4, 1961. Serial no. 40am.

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that we, LOUIS E. RENTH and MATHILDE M. RENTH, citizens of-the United States, and residin at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of %llinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Aseptic Hair-Rolls, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to aseptic hair rolls and has for its object improvements therein which will facilitate its construction which will make convenient the securing of the roll in place, and which will also prevent the roll from being stretched so as to destro .or reduce the efliciency of the crimps ut'into the wool out of which the roll is ma e.

Broadly my invention consists in lacin a flexible non-elastic strand within t e ro to limit the extent to which it may be stretched and is directed further to provide fastening means and improved means for assembling the material of the roll.

an elevational View of'the roll of our invention, partly broken away, showing the roll stretc ed to its greatest lon itudinal length so that the interior strand wil be in a straight line; and Fig. 2 is a transverse section thereof.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is in the said drawin s, A is the body oftheroll formed of proper y cleaned and crimped wool, and B represents the ends drawn and bound together.

C represents .a fine, properly insulated or protected wire which runs through the center of the roll and terminates at each end in a loo D. This wire isso small in diameter am so flexible, that it does not in any way effect the crimped wool which surrounds it.

We may, and preferabl do, use the wire'to bind the ends of the rol as shown at E.

When the roll is in its normal contracted condition, the wire lies loosely in the interior like a piece of string or cord, and the length of the wire between the points B at which it is fastened is about one-third greater than the strai ht line length between these points. The resu t is that by takin hold of-the ends of the roll it may be, stretc ed to a distance equal to the length of the inside wire, but not further. This prevents .undue stretching of the roll, thus tending topromote the efiiciency of the crimp of the wool, and resulting 1n a prolonged life of the roll.

The loop provides a means for securing the roll by inserting a hair pin through the said loop. In a roll which has no such loop,

hair ins are being continually forced through the ound portion B with the result of in]uring the binding and of breaking some of the closely compacted I wool fibers at this point. With the use of the loop Dthere is no occasion for such destructiveaction, and as the loops are at the two ends of the non-elastic wire C, there is no strain upon the roll other than the intended one of supporting the hair of the wearer in its desired position.

The ends of the wire C being used to bind the Wool of the roll thereon, it is evident that a roll of good construction is obtained.

' What we claim is 1. An aseptic hair roll composed of a multitude of longitudinally extending fibers and an interior non-elastic central strand reach ing from end to end of said fibers and serving to secure the adjacent ends ofsaid fibers together.

2. An aseptic hair titude of longitudinally extending fibers and an interior strand extending from end to end of said fibers, having its ends formed into loops and serving to secure the adjacent ends of said fibers together. 3. An aseptic hair-roll composed oflongltudinai fibers, a non-rigid wire extending longitudinally through said roll and servmg to having greater length within the roll'than the normal length of said roll, and said W1I6 having loops formed therein adjacent to the bound ends of the fibers, substantially as described.

4. In an aseptic hair roll, a flexible sub-' roll composed of a mulbind theends of the fibers together, said wire stantially non-elastic elongated member and a multitude of separate longitudinally extending fibers secured at their ends to said member.

5. In an aseptic hair roll, a flexible wire and a multitude of separate longitudinally extending fibers secured at their ends to said w1re.

-In witness whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribin witnesses. I OUIS E. RENTH. -THHJDE M. RENTH. Witnesses:
